Rapid City Journal (Rapid City, SD) February 22, 1890

           Caught His Man
   Sheriff Boyd, in response to a telegram from Sheriff
Dahlman, of Dawes county, Nebraska, left on Thursday
afternoon for Chadron, to take into custody Louis Hughes,
who, it will be remembered, a short time ago in an afray
at Hill City, stabbed and dangerously wounded a man
by the name of VanGilder. Sheriff Dahlman, to whom had 
been telegraphed a description of Hughes, captured his
man about twenty miles from Chadron, last Wednesday.
Hughes at the time was headed for the Sioux 
reservation. In a conversation yesterday the prisoner
did not deny that he did the cutting, but stated
that it had been done in self defense, and was forced
upon him. After cutting VanGilder he walked to 
Hermosa, stayed there over night and then started
down the road. He was on foot, and had walked to
where he was captured. He is now behind the bars in
the county jail, and as soon as Van Gilder's wounds
will permit will have his preliminary hearing.
